Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15100ST | Time for the Trees | 36mm | Blue

The Birth of the Luxury Sports Watch

In 1972, Gérald Genta drew a line through convention and sketched the future: a sculptural steel watch, priced like precious metal, that redefined luxury itself. The Royal Oak didn’t just enter haute horlogerie—it rewrote its rules, inaugurating the era of the luxury sports watch with uncompromising form and fearless intent.

The Architecture of a Revolution

• Reference Number: 15100ST.OO.0789ST.01 (Royal Oak Foundation “Time for the Trees” Limited Edition)
• The Octagonal Bezel with 8 Hexagonal Screws: A maritime-inspired frame, perfectly aligned and sunk into brushed steel, turning function into unmistakable signature.
• The Integrated Tapering Bracelet: Hand-finished stainless steel links flow seamlessly from case to clasp—architectural, ergonomic, and undeniably Royal Oak.
• The ‘Tapisserie’ Dial: Blue tapestry pattern with the Foundation’s “Time for the Trees” identity—texture, depth, and narrative in every square.
• Case Material and Diameter: Stainless steel, 36 mm; a timeless mid-size that delivers presence without excess.
• Calibre: Automatic, self-winding mechanical movement delivering reliable, refined performance worthy of the icon.

The Curator’s Insight:
Launching a radical, steel sports watch at the height of the quartz crisis was audacity incarnate—and it saved the Maison. That same fearless spirit lives in this Foundation edition, where design, substance, and purpose align.
